Legacy of a Lifetime
My dears, days of sunrises draw to an end,
before breath fails me, there’s a message I must send.
On these precious pages, exist tales you need to know,
stories recounting accomplishments, highs and lows.
Lessons learned, mistakes made,
please listen closely, time will too soon fade.
Read this retelling, take what it says to heart,
grant this final request, before our lives must part.
Share the words imparted, with both young and old,
they must remember who I was, my story needs to be told!
Dreams, hopes, wishes, discovered upon these pages,
my greatest writing masterpiece, shared repeatedly throughout the ages!
When from this Earth I become, a mere memory,
this book will remain behind, as my lifetime legacy!

*The Daily Post prompt was to share what you would leave as your legacy. I feel the reason I became a writer was so my legacy to future generations would be a lifetime of learning to love literature and to hopefully inspire many others to become writers and find a love for the written word as well. This prompt really makes one think. What would your legacy to future generations be?Daily Post Prompt Legacy
